Lian Jinghong's face was filled with astonishment on the empty stage.
A dignified Master Refiner was explaining ancient secrets to someone, but was actually rudely interrupted. And the person who interrupted him was just an unknown nobody. What was even more ridiculous was that this nobody wanted to learn from him.
Lian Jinghong was surprised, amused, and helpless. He could not understand what Gao Zhengyang was thinking.
After a pause, Lian Jinghong shook his head and laughed. He said to Gao Zhengyang, "I have a question. How old are you?"
Gao Zhengyang also laughed, "Master Lian wants to ask me how I managed to live to this age without being beaten to death, right?"
"Actually, it's very simple. Those who want to kill me have already been killed by me."
Gao Zhengyang's reply was somewhat playful and relaxed, but Lian Jinghong could not help but squint his eyes. He could tell that Gao Zhengyang was not joking.
Lian Jinghong was naturally not afraid. He squinted his eyes to conceal the changes in his expression out of habit. At his level, he could control all the qi, blood, and muscles in his body, from his limbs to his expression.
Only the changes in one's eyes could directly convey one's inner emotions, and it was very difficult to control. When he encountered a difficult problem, Lian Jinghong would habitually squint his eyes to conceal his emotions.
"Master Lian, you don't have to waste time. I came here alone. There's no one behind me."
Gao Zhengyang said as he raised his head to look at the curved dome above, "This stage should have been cut off from the outside world. Even if there are people here, they can't enter. Right? "
After a moment of silence, Lian Jinghong nodded, "You're very smart and sharp. The Tianyue Stage still has some divine power left behind by the ancient almighty. When the stage is opened, it will become an independent space, cutting off all connections with the outside world. Even a Sage level expert will not be able to interfere. "
Lian Jinghong's long speech about the ancient secrets was mainly to stall for time and wait for the magical array of the stage to be fully activated. Cut off from the outside world.
After living for two hundred years, Lian Jinghong's skin was already thicker than a city wall. He was not embarrassed to be pointed out by Gao Zhengyang.
It was just that he did not expect Gao Zhengyang's senses to be so keen, to actually perceive the changes in the Laws.
"You don't have to be afraid. The rules of the arena are fair. You and I are equal here. "
Lian Jinghong smiled and said, "Everything can be resolved under the rule of fairness."
Gu Tianyue's martial arena was a ruin left behind by a major power from before the epoch. It could be said that its value was immeasurable.
Lian Jinghong had brought Gao Zhengyang here to solve this problem once and for all.
The rules of the martial arts arena were fair, but under the rules of fairness, the huge gap in strength between the two could not be made up. Since the external force was completely blocked, Lian Jinghong was naturally confident of his victory.
Gao Zhengyang could vaguely guess what Lian Jinghong was thinking. If the other party only wanted to silence him, he wouldn't have gone through so much trouble.
"Grandmaster Lian, we've already come this far. If you have anything to say, just say it."
"Alright, I'll make it clear this time."
As Lian Jinghong spoke, he formed a spell with his hands and chanted a few incantations before shouting in a deep voice, "Order!"
A ray of spiritual light suddenly shot down from the black-gray dome of the martial arts arena.
After the seven-colored spiritual light landed on the ground, the spiritual light flickered and changed, finally turning into a dignified king wearing a golden crown and a golden dragon robe.
As soon as the dignified king appeared, the martial arts arena was also covered with a layer of spiritual light.
The originally gray martial arts arena had also turned into a huge arena. The arena was made of red sandalwood, the floor was clean and spotless, without a single crack.
The scorching sun hung high in the sky, surrounded by the dark blue sea. The faint sound of waves could also be heard.
The miraculous changes were far beyond anyone's imagination, causing Gao Zhengyang to be dumbfounded.
He secretly exerted force under his feet. The red sandalwood was tough and elastic, completely different from the rock floor.
The blue sky was endless, the blue sea was vast and deep.
Gao Zhengyang stood on the arena, also feeling that it was difficult to distinguish the real from the fake. However, as far as the eye could see, the sky was high and the sea was vast, and his heart was broadened.
Lian Jinghong, who was beside him, had a complacent look on his face. Gao Zhengyang's shocked look made him especially satisfied.
He had discovered Gu Tianyue's martial arts arena for decades and had been studying its mysteries, making many important discoveries.
However, he couldn't tell anyone about these discoveries. This was like wearing silk clothes at night. Not only could he not show off his great achievements, he couldn't even find someone to share them with. There was no need to mention how unhappy he was.
This time, he could finally show off in front of outsiders. Even though Lian Jinghong was 200 years old, he couldn't help but feel a little smug.
"This is King Tianping, a certain god in the ancient era. Legend has it that he is in charge of fairness and justice. Although this is just a projection of him, the strong divine power he left behind still has a strong binding force to ensure fairness and justice. No one can cheat. "
Lian Jinghong explained to Gao Zhengyang, but he didn't explain everything clearly. This King Tianping didn't have much divine power left, so he couldn't restrain experts above the Sage level.
The Human Clan hadn't produced a Sage level expert for thousands of years, so this kind of expert wasn't within Lian Jinghong's consideration.
If there was really a Sage level expert who wanted to cheat, then there was nothing to say. He could just accept his fate.
Gao Zhengyang didn't say anything. He didn't know anything, so he had nothing to say.
This King Tianping in front of him indeed had an incredible power. He was far more powerful than any expert he had ever seen.
Wu Xiang, Jue Mie, Huiming, and the other rank nine experts Gao Zhengyang had seen couldn't be compared to King Tianping at all.
It was like comparing a brook to the sea, because the two weren't of the same order of magnitude.
Lian Jinghong enjoyed Gao Zhengyang's shock before saying calmly, "Let's make an oath. With King Tianping as our witness, no one can violate the oath. "
"Okay." Gao Zhengyang nodded. He was just shocked by everything in Gu Tianyue's martial arts arena, not afraid of Lian Jinghong.
If Lian Jinghong could control Gu Tianyue's martial arts arena and King Tianping's projection, he wouldn't have played so many tricks.
"The previous agreement was too simple. We can play bigger."
Lian Jinghong probed, "You don't have any objections, right?"
Gao Zhengyang was noncommittal. "Tell me about it."
"You also saw that the martial arts arena is extremely magical. It hides Ji Kuang's secret, as well as the changes in divine power, and so on. Will you share this secret with others? "
Lian Jinghong didn't wait for Gao Zhengyang to answer and continued, "It's very simple. The victor gets everything, while the loser will always be loyal to the victor and become the victor's most loyal subordinate. They will never disobey the victor's orders and cannot use any means to leak the victor's secrets."
Gao Zhengyang's gaze sharpened. Lian Jinghong was really vicious!
No wonder Lian Jinghong would bring him to the martial arts arena. It turned out that he wanted to borrow King Tianping's divine power to make this oath. The loser would lose everything, not even being able to leak secrets.
As long as Lian Jinghong won, he could completely solve this problem.
Of course, Gao Zhengyang could refuse, and Lian Jinghong would kill him at all costs. A dead man could definitely keep secrets.
"You won't refuse, right?" Lian Jinghong's slender eyes were filled with killing intent. As long as Gao Zhengyang dared to refuse, he would immediately attack and kill Gao Zhengyang at all costs.
In any case, in the martial arts arena, Gao Zhengyang had no way to escape!
Gao Zhengyang suddenly laughed, "Why should I refuse? This is exactly what I want! You've done much better and more considerate than I expected! Not bad … "
Gao Zhengyang readily agreed to the oath, which surprised Lian Jinghong. What made him even more displeased was that Gao Zhengyang's arrogant manner seemed to be praising his subordinate.
"Alright."
Lian Jinghong turned around and said to King Tianping, who was floating in the air, "I, Lian Jinghong, will make a martial arts oath with this person before me. We will fight fairly, and the winner will get everything, while the loser will always be loyal to the winner, becoming the winner's most loyal subordinate, never disobeying the winner's orders, and never divulging anything about the winner in any way. "
Gao Zhengyang also imitated Lian Jinghong's manner and said to King Tianping, "I, Gao Zhengyang, will make a martial arts oath with Lian Jinghong …"
After both of them made the oath, King Tianping's cold and emotionless golden eyes emitted divine light, and golden runes immediately appeared in the void.
Gao Zhengyang only recognized one of the text, which was the oath they had made.
Thousands of golden runes instantly condensed into a golden scroll, which flickered in the air. Divine light extended from both ends of the golden scroll, connecting Gao Zhengyang and Lian Jinghong.
In Gao Zhengyang's divine palace, the golden scroll once again transformed into the oath they had made, and those flashing text directly imprinted into Gao Zhengyang's divine consciousness.
In the endless void, a majestic and majestic voice recited the oath.
That majestic voice finally asked, "Do you want to make an oath according to the oath?"
"Yes." Gao Zhengyang considered it over and over again, but he didn't find any problems, so he decisively agreed.
At the same time, Lian Jinghong also responded.
"The oath is established. In the name of King Tianping, I bear witness to this oath," the majestic and majestic voice recited again.
With a bang, the golden scroll floating in the air suddenly turned into three golden lights, connecting King Tianping, Gao Zhengyang, and Lian Jinghong at the same time.
When the golden lights dissipated, Gao Zhengyang felt as if there was something extra in his divine soul. But he couldn't tell what it was.
Lian Jinghong looked at Gao Zhengyang with a complicated gaze, "Actually, you're a smart person. Don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly."
Lian Jinghong's appearance showed that he had already regarded Gao Zhengyang as his subordinate.
Gao Zhengyang couldn't help but laugh, "It's not smart to speak like this to your future boss. But I'm very magnanimous, so just do your job well. "
When it came to bickering, Lian Jinghong, who had lived for more than two hundred years, was completely no match for him. He was so angry that his face turned blue, but he was smart enough not to speak.
As long as he defeated Gao Zhengyang, he could shut him up.
Lian Jinghong said to King Tianping, "For the sake of fairness, please ban all magic tools, Divine Soldier, and other external objects."
King Tianping didn't ask Gao Zhengyang, and directly announced, "This is in line with the rules of fairness in martial arts competitions. All magic tools, Divine Soldier, and other external objects are banned in martial arts competitions. "
Lian Jinghong laughed proudly and said, "What do you think? Surprised, right? Hahaha … "
From the moment Gao Zhengyang agreed to the martial arts competition, Lian Jinghong knew that something was wrong. A mere rank five wanted to compete with him, so there must be something wrong!
In the beginning, Lian Jinghong thought that Gao Zhengyang had someone helping him, so he had nothing to fear.
But after entering the martial arts arena and isolating the inside from the outside, Gao Zhengyang was still so confident and calm, which made Lian Jinghong mutter in his heart.
He hadn't lived in vain for the past 200 years, and he was also a master craftsman. He guessed that Gao Zhengyang definitely wanted to rely on external objects like the Divine Soldier, which was why he was so full of confidence.
Lian Jinghong laughed very happily. He had held it in for so long to dig a big hole for Gao Zhengyang.
At this moment, the oath had been made, and no one could go back on it.
What surprised Lian Jinghong was that Gao Zhengyang was very calm, and there wasn't even any change in his expression.
Gao Zhengyang lowered his head and thought for a while, then said to himself, "Since it's the rules of fairness, if he can make a request, then I can too."
Lian Jinghong tried to maintain his smile, but his eyes narrowed uncontrollably. Gao Zhengyang's reaction was too unexpected.
His expression and posture could be fake, but he could still calmly think of countermeasures in a desperate situation and immediately grasp the key points. This person's mind was as tough as steel, and he was as calm as an iceberg that would never melt. His wisdom was smooth, and he could adapt to the situation.
Lian Jinghong had never seen such a person in his life. He couldn't help but sigh. What an amazing talent.
Lian Jinghong was surprised but not afraid. Even if Gao Zhengyang could make a request, it had to be fair and targeted at both parties.
With the Divine Soldier's magical weapon banned, Gao Zhengyang had lost his only chance of winning!
Gao Zhengyang didn't look at Lian Jinghong. He wasn't trying to sound him out. He said directly to King Tianping, "For the sake of fairness in the competition, I request that all pneuma be banned."
Monarch Tianping said in a dignified manner, "This is in line with the rules of fair competition, so all changes in vital energy are prohibited during the competition."
Lian Jinghong's expression changed. He was a little surprised and a little speechless. It seemed that Gao Zhengyang's request was so ridiculous that he was speechless!
Gao Zhengyang continued to ask, "Excuse me, what are the criteria for winning the competition?"
"He lost the ability to fight again. Or you can admit defeat, "King Tianping answered.
"If he's killed in the competition, can he still be resurrected?" Gao Zhengyang was very curious about this question. It was also a very important question.
King Tianping said coldly, "The competition is a battle of life force and wisdom. It's sacred and solemn. How can other means be used? All injuries in the competition are real and irreversible. "
Gao Zhengyang nodded slightly. Sure enough.
Of course, it was impossible for a god to preside over a fair competition for a game. If there were no deaths or injuries in the competition, it would be a joke. It would be an insult to the god who presided over the competition.
"You're afraid of death!" Lian Jinghong mocked.
Gao Zhengyang shook his head. "No, I'm just asking first. After all, you're still useful. If you're killed, it'll be troublesome. "
"Too arrogant," Lian Jinghong scolded.
He then said, "It seems that you're very proficient in body-refining techniques. That's why you're so confident."
"Smart." Gao Zhengyang smiled. "It's not too late for you to admit defeat now. Everyone doesn't have to do anything. If you're seriously injured, it'll be troublesome. It'll be more useful if you go all out. "
Lian Jinghong had a look of pity on his face. "You're really a smart person. You can think of the most beneficial method for yourself in a desperate situation. After all, vital energy is the foundation of all martial arts and spells. Without vital energy, you can't even use your martial soul. If it were any other master blacksmith, they might have been toyed to death by you. "
With that, Lian Jinghong said proudly, "Unfortunately, you met me. I'm the strongest blacksmith in a thousand years. "
"Uh, is it really okay for you to praise yourself like that?" Gao Zhengyang was somewhat speechless. This old man really dared to brag. The strongest blacksmith in a thousand years! Who admitted that …
Lian Jinghong ignored Gao Zhengyang's sarcasm and continued, "A hundred years ago, I completely preserved the innate talent of the demonic beasts and embedded it in the metal armor. I created the Iron Armor Mystic Soldier … "
"I know everything. Say something new …"
Lian Jinghong, who had entered some kind of memory mode, had a blank look in his eyes. It was as if he didn't hear what Gao Zhengyang said.
"Since then, I've been wondering why the bones of the demonic beasts can contain energy, but the bones of humans can't. From then on, I tried to transplant the bones of the demonic beasts into the human body. For this, I used some methods and captured many people. These people are all guilty of the most heinous crimes. It was their honor to cooperate with me to complete the blacksmith … "
This time, Gao Zhengyang didn't say anything. He suddenly guessed what Lian Jinghong was going to say and was ecstatic.
Wasn't it his goal to transplant the innate talent of the demonic beasts into the human body? He didn't expect this Lian Jinghong to have such imagination and initiative. He actually started researching this very early.
Moreover, from what he said, his research was successful. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so confident and brag that he was the strongest blacksmith in a thousand years.
"I used more than 300 people to blacksmith. After 50 years of research, the secret method of implanting the bones of the demonic beasts into the human body was almost perfected. Finally, I decided to try it on myself … "
At this point, Lian Jinghong's voice became low, "I implanted the bones of the Iron Scale Demon Bear into myself. This is a rank seven demonic beast. It's extremely strong and its iron scales can resist all kinds of spells. This demonic beast's bones are too thick. I killed a cub to solve this problem. Then, my wife helped me transplant the bones. The secret method was extremely successful. A year later, I was completely familiar with the new bones and new energy. Then, I decided to transplant the bones of the demonic beasts into my wife … "
"Alright, this must be a sad story." Gao Zhengyang muttered to himself on the side.
He had no intention of interrupting Lian Jinghong. There was no harm in listening to more secrets like this.
Lian Jinghong's eyes suddenly focused. His unfocused gaze suddenly sharpened. He looked at Gao Zhengyang and said, "You're really too smart. There was a conflict between the demonic beasts' bones in my wife's body. Because of my stupidity and incompetence, she died. "
Gao Zhengyang shook his head and didn't say anything. If he continued to provoke the other, it would be too harsh. There was also no need.
He had already treated Lian Jinghong as his subordinate. As his boss, he had to be more tolerant.
"Transplanting demonic beasts' bones is related to the human body. These years, I have been researching it and have already grasped the most crucial point. In less than thirty years, this secret method will definitely change the world! "
Lian Jinghong said confidently, "This crafting secret method will be named after my wife. If she knew in the underworld, she would definitely be comforted …"
"Are you done? You can start now." Gao Zhengyang interrupted Lian Jinghong. As soon as he said that, he felt that something was wrong. "These words are so familiar. I seem to have said it once before."
Lian Jinghong sneered, "You don't have to pretend to be crazy. The power of the demonic bear's bones in my body has already fused with my blood and become a part of my body. It's not an external object. Moreover, these thirty years, my bones have been continuously strengthening. My physical strength has already reached the Heaven Rank! "
After pausing for a moment, Lian Jinghong said proudly, "With the consciousness of a Heaven Rank expert and the power close to the Heaven Rank, is there even a need to fight this battle?"
"Oh, it sounds pretty powerful!" Gao Zhengyang sighed, "Unfortunately, you are unlucky to have met me."
As Gao Zhengyang said that, he slowly raised his fist and punched towards Lian Jinghong, "Surrender! I, I have a cheat! "
Speaking up to this point, Lian Jinghong's voice became low, "I implanted the bones of an Iron Scale Demonic Bear into myself. This is a rank seven demonic beast with great strength. Its iron scales can resist all kinds of spells. This demonic beast's bones are too thick. I had to kill a cub to solve this problem. Then, my wife transplanted it for me. The secret method was extremely successful. A year later, I was completely familiar with the new bones and new strength. Then, I decided to transplant the demonic beast's bones for my wife … "
"Alright, this must be a sad story." Gao Zhengyang muttered to himself at the side.
He had no intention of interrupting Lian Jinghong. There was no harm in listening to this kind of secret.
Lian Jinghong's eyes suddenly sharpened. He looked at Gao Zhengyang and said, "You are really too smart. The demonic beast's bones clashed with my wife's body. Because of my stupidity and incompetence, she died. "
Gao Zhengyang shook his head and did not say anything. It would be too harsh and unnecessary to provoke the other now.
He had already regarded Lian Jinghong as his subordinate. As the boss, he had to be more tolerant.
"Transplanting demonic beast's bones is related to a person's physique. After years of research, I have already grasped the most important part. In less than thirty years, this secret method will definitely change the world! "
Lian Jinghong said confidently, "This refining secret method will be named after my wife. If she knew in the underworld, she would definitely be comforted …"
"Are you done? You can start now." Gao Zhengyang interrupted Lian Jinghong. As soon as he said that, he felt that something was wrong, "These words are so familiar. I seem to have said it once before."
Lian Jinghong sneered, "You don't have to pretend to be crazy. The power of the demonic bear's bones in my body has already fused with my blood and become a part of my body. It is not an external object. Moreover, in these thirty years, my bones have been continuously strengthened. My physical strength has already reached Heaven Rank! "
After a pause, Lian Jinghong said proudly, "With the consciousness of a Heaven Rank expert and the power that is close to Heaven Rank, is there even a need to fight this battle?"
"Oh, it sounds quite powerful!" Gao Zhengyang sighed, "Unfortunately, you are unlucky to have met me."
